A patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is the newest member of an Arkansas city's police department.
The West Memphis Police Department presented Jacob Wells of Jonesboro with his own badge and made him an official member Wednesday, the agency wrote in a Facebook post.
Police received a message about Jacob from the Jonesboro Police Department and visited the boy at the Memphis hospital with the department's greyhound mascot, Rusty.
Jacob wants to be a police officer when he grows up, according to the post.
"Please keep Jacob and his family in your prayers," the department wrote on Facebook.
